Fun loving & responsible dog sitter

Pet care experience

Hello, My name is Julie and I am a 29 year old who just moved to Austin and I would like to get to know the people and the dogs in the area. I can walk dogs before and after work. I would be available between 4:30pm-7:15am on weeknights and pretty much anytime on weekends. Although I currently do not own a dog because I live in a small apartment, I grew up with dogs and I can provide several references. I lived with my sister for two years and I frequently took care of her Golden Lab who has arthritis and needed daily medication and her very active Weimaraner. While I cannot provide service in my home because I live in a small apartment, I am very respectful of other people's homes and I believe it is where dogs feel most comfortable. Please email or call me with any questions and I will be happy to take care of your four legged child or children :-)

Julie was very helpful and respectful of our dogs and our home while we were out of town. We came home to happy pups and a clean house and folded laundry, even! She was also very good about communicating with me, before, during, and after her stay, I really appreciated that.

Julie was FANTASTIC at taking care of my furry little monsters! She was super responsive, and caring, and I will happily book her again. My animals were all well cared for when I got back-and Julie went above and beyond to take care of my house as well. It's awesome to find a great house-sitter/dogsitter that I can trust!

Information Julie S. would like to know about your pet

I am very open to caring for all kinds of dogs. I want to know everything I can about a dog so I can provide the best care possible, like their favorite games, favorite ways to be pet, bathroom habits, meal and walking routines, etc.

A typical day

I am comfortable with any size and breed of dog and I love getting to know new dogs and playing with them. My sister actually calls me the "dog whisperer" because her dogs are always excited to see me even when it has been months and they don't act that way around other people. I don't mind wet noses or licks or cuddling (in fact I get a kick out of it). My neighborhood has a great walking/biking path that I love to take walks on and it is frequented by many people and their dogs. I love to snuggle up next to dogs and cats in the evenings after dinner and walk/playtime. I do not mind if dogs jump on me but I know most owners try to discourage that so I will discourage that if the owner requests. I am flexible and willing to do other things if necessary (i.e. get mail, take out the trash, etc.). If your house is within 30 minutes of my work, I can provide a mid-day potty break and walk. If it is close to my home, my husband works close by and can also assist with mid-day breaks.
